[QUOTE="griffindodd, post: 686473, member: 90099"] It looks like this issue is related to rebuffering from the transcoder not being able to keep up with the input. I am using 1080i input from a HVR-1255 as my source. If I bypass the iphone and go access the stream through a browser on my desktop at work over our dual T1 I notice that the stream buffers the first 25 seconds of the broadcast but then stops playback. I would guess that the transcoder is falling behind. I get slightly better performance out of FFMpeg transcoding so my computer can spit out the stream quicker and delay the rebuffering. Better performance again when choosing a lower quality output from the FFmpeg options, choosing libx264-ipod320 obviously gives better results as it has less to spit out. Also if I test the service using a loopback IP address of 127.0.0.1 in my browser on the MPTV Server computer I get the same issues which would cut out the possibility of the problem being connection/bandwidth related.
